Hmmmm - I hadn't noticed that before... good point.

Haha. Would that that were so. Samba grew more organically
than that over the years :-).

The checks were placed there probably to avoid
having to unmarshall the EA's if the underlying
filesystem didn't support it.

However, the reason to keep them is to allow a VFS that supports
EA's to be overridden if "ea support = no" is set in the
share definition of the smb.conf.

In that spirit, let me propose this patch instead,
which does the same thing at the same level as the
SMB1 checks. The original patch works, but could allow a custom
VFS to override "ea support = no" in smb.conf,
which we shouldn't allow to happen I think.

Can you re-review the attached patch ?

Thanks,

Jeremy.
